Overview
We list Statistics BSc because it keeps coming up in counselling sessions, and because the spread of entry terms across the UK is wider than most applicants expect. It is a 3 years undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.
Teaching in Statistics is assessed through practical reports as much as written examinations. We currently work with 38 universities on this course across 30 cities.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £15.500 to £32.000 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.
The fastest way to narrow this down is to send us your grades and English score. We will come back with a shortlist rather than a brochure.
